Isn't Steam (or more specifically steamwebhelper.exe) using Chromium Embedded Framework for web views? It's already a 64-bit process for me on Windows. I also do wish they'd upgrade the client completely, but WoW64…
I wish it supported vertical text and reading right-to-left (Japanese). It's a long-standing issue that doesn't seem likely to be solved (https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/4353). The relevant standard is…
Another xz case?
Ukraine did have Soviet-era nuclear weapons at the time of their independence, which they let go of in exchange of US, UK and Russia security guarantees in 1994. It is amazing to me how this fact is being memoryholed.
The essentials for me are private email, calendar & cloud storage. Here is my post-Google setup: https://tuta.com/ is a German privacy-focused alternative that I'm currently using for email & calendar. Easy switch,…
Kindle readers are far from the best and completely locked to Amazon unless you jailbreak. ePub is the standard format. I’ve made sure to convert everything I’ve bought back to ePub without DRM. I read a lot in…
Your web browsing habits reveal a lot more about you than your desktop habits.
My understanding is that it’s because of node-gyp, used to build native addon modules for Node.js.
I see where you're coming from in the general case; I think it has been well established that leadership positions attract people well described by the dark triad. However, I don't agree that being a leader has to…
